Communist humor is the strangest, funniest, most enchanting and
meaningful legacy of the eighty years of communism in Russia and
Eastern Europe. The valiant and sardonic citizens of the former
Communist countries surrounded by secret police, threatened with
arrest, imprisonment and forced labor, a failed economic system,
and bombarded with ludicrous propaganda turned joke-telling into an
art form, using them as a coded way of speaking the truth and
coping with the absurdity of the system. In this poignant and
historically revealing book, rare and previously unpublished
archival material, including cartoons, caricatures, photographs,
and oral transcripts take the reader on a unique journey through
the real experience of the Communist era."
